All the reasons given for normal Mathematics apply along with; Further Mathematics gives those students who enjoy Mathematics a chance to widen and deepen their understanding of the subject.
It is ideal preparation for degree level study. Former Maelor students who have studied Further Mathematics have said it helped them in the transition from A levels to degree course.
For Further Mathematics, students will have had to gained an A or A* in GCSE level Mathematics
